Secretary Baker presented an itemized account
of the expenditures for the year and gave a
lengthy statement Of the financial condition of
the board The amount received from the city
during the year, ne said. was S75, 205.51. This
amount was less by $50 II than that re-
ceived from the same source last year. The re-
duction was caused by the new tax law taking
effect Jan. l. 1886, which provided for semi
ment caused by the deficiency was less than
ticipated, for the that much more than
half the taxes were paid in the spring. The re-
port also states that the superintendent of taxes
for the State last year cents less per capita
than the previous year, but the increased emu
meration more than balanced the deficiency
caused by the decrease.
The debt of the board as shown by the report
is 5000 900. This is reduction of $l0 900 in the
Indebtedness since last year, in addition to
which the cash balance in the treasury has been
increased from about $I7 600 to $37, 900, showing
a betterment of the boards financial condition
of about $50, 900 over last year
Following the submission of the reports the
old beard adjourned, and j. B. Conner was called
to the chair as the temporary president of the
new board. Secretary Baker presented the cleo
ton certificates of Messrs Loeper and Calvin,
the new members. who succeeded E. ii. Dean of
the sixth, and j. Bingham of the fifth districts.
They were escorted seats and declared mem

To-day churches where Jones preached were
crowded. He made a telling appeal for the
orphan asylum which he is running in Georgia,
and the collection yielded unexpectedly large
returns. Instead of the usual ten-cent pieces
and nickels were notes and silver dollars The
people gave to charity when they would not give

A Prophet Lifts Up His Voice.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Although in no way related to Virgins, and
being PEELED by candor to forego all claims of
consequently with Sam Love, we venture the
prediction that all the cable roads buils ii Tndi-
annapolis for five ten years to come, will be
run by mule electricity. and that the city will
obtain natural gas under the present ordinance
about the time that the sky rains fine, large
boiled dumplines, with cream rand sugar dip to
match. The astuteness of part of the press
and Of the city government in throwing insur-
mountable obstacles in the way OF introducing a
new and wonderful competing fuel appears to
rest upon the discovery that it is only necessary
to provide for one side of the contract. The
cheerful assurances volunteered by certain gem
tlemen that natural gas is to be suddenly piped
in derives a sort OF dazzling illumination from
tho fact that they are interested in desirable
north-side additions and subdivisions. for the
rapid sale of which nothing is wanting but Gus
TONERS.
After fifteen or twenty perforations of the
colicky old beldame earth, the gas at the dis
posal of local companies is ali escaping through
a twonch opening. The confidence OF these
gentlemen is secure basis in the mathematical
computation that when they get two more good
wells they will only have one less than three.
The warmth which the city is destined to obtain
from companies which have neither gas nor cap
ital will probably be more conducive to the
manufacture of ice than to the sudden con1agra-
ton Of White river The prosperity which is to
burst on Indianapolis pursuant to the policy of
discouraging those who have capital ard de-
pending upon those who expect to work wonders
by borrowing, will, no doubt be surprise to all
concerned.
Apropos to the ad libitum taxing clause in the
gas ordinance, 1t appears strange 1t has not oc-
Cured to cur financial management to increase
revenue by putting an extra tax on receiver-
ships Of broken back financial institutions.
The judicious application of such q tax
